Subclinical myocardial involvement in a cohort of patients with antisynthetase syndrome

CONCLUSIONS: Subclinical myocardial involvement in ASSD is not rare (32%) although its clinical significance is uncertain. Myocardial oedema (T2) was the most frequent finding, followed by increased T1 and/or ECV values likely signalling interstitial fibrosis. Of note, patients in the acute phase showed elevated T2 values.PMID:38488096 | DOI:10.55563/clinexprheumatol/tgcrtf
